Hanako said nothing. No words she had at her disposal were ever going to be enough, in this sort of situation someone was always going to walk away wounded and Hanako simply couldn't muster the will to do any damage control. A darkness stirred within her, thoughts of not being good enough pressed at her temples like a migraine. She hadn't felt this way....in forever, like her mind was no longer her own. Spoiled, like wasted goods. Her gaze briefly flickered to Azure in a panic, though Hanako was quick to smother it. The Pirate had said all sorts of things about what she'd done when he was...gone, was this the new metric of her worth?
Sparrow continued and set her stare upon Hanako once more as accusations came out in a frustrated torrent. She'd never been built for weathering storms, least of all of those of the ocean. The Pirate King had only ever been good and kind to her, earnest in her affections, but she was starting to see her claim behind the title. Besting Azure had not been a fluke, she could rip Hanako open right here and now and the koi-wolf would be powerless to stop it. Might even deserve it.
She pressed the pale of her lips shut, hoping that'd be enough to stop them from wobbling. It wasn't.
Sparrow was intent on having the last word and truly did not pull her punches. Did this make her feel better? To tear down the pretty curtains Hanako had put up to conceal the worst of herself? Bare and exposed that even the ocean wind grated against her skin? And then she was gone, leaving Hanako to face the consequences of her actions. Or inaction.
Leaning down to press her muzzle against the fluff of Azure's neck, Hanako whined deep in her throat. Like a dog who'd been kicked for getting in the way.
"Az please wake up."
